I would be very glad to be interviewed on your blog. Earlier you’d asked to review my books, but I see you are now very busy. I can see why! Goodness! sending a blog post and book review everyday would do me in. I am sure you have many hundreds of writers grateful for your kind and effective work. Let me know if you’re interested in my books, or myself for an interview. Happy to work with you in any way.

Your books look perfect for my blog. Sorry, I don’t remember our previous interaction. I blame it on age and Parkinson’s. I’d love to feature your books. However I have interviews and reviews scheduled all the way to March 2017.There are, however, other ways you can get on my blog or you can contact me in January to schedule reviews for the new year. Please read this post for more information https://wordpress.com/post/bferrante.wordpress.com/2074

I won’t be posting every day steadily. My goal is three times a week. Beyond that is gravy.

I just started an online picture book review group. We will critique a book once a week so I’m sure that will take a good chunk of my writing time.I am also doing NANOWRIMO this year.

Hello Bonnie I recently sent you To Know the Sea … classic fairy tale vehicle for very different story of girl empowerment! … VERY different hero and no magic just hard work ..if you would consider this for review next year, since you already reviewed Teacher (thank you, lovely review) do I need to do the three questions interview again?

Hi Bonnie,
As a new author with my first children’s book just published, I am excited to have my book, Erasable, considered for promotion on your site. Erasable is intended for ages 8 – 12 and its genre is magical realism. The publisher is Belfort and Bastion.

I’m wondering if you’re getting that message because you don’t have a WordPress site. Maybe you just have to decline and then it will let you go to my page. But, my husband went to my site on his computer and didn’t have any problem so I don’t get it.

Thanks for following Linda. Please feel free to jump in and comment anytime.
